Cleaning Out The Mouth Of A Young Master
Chapter 28
...…
Ahh… It seems like we have quite a number of interesting guests today…
Lucifer briefly flipped his cold gaze across all the spectators as he obtained a good understanding of the various factions present.
We have one from the Ashura Family, another from the Dragon Tamer Sect, and then a few more from the Rank 3 Linglong Sect. There are a couple more from 10 other Rank 2 Sects as well.
All in all, the only true powerhouse among the guests is… him.
Lucifer's blood-red eyes honed in on the robust and imposing frame of General Long.
He is someone quite strong… Even for a Rank 3 Family, he is at the very top of the top. Add that to all the power he wields as the Head General of the Fire Nation, and a true obstacle is created.
If I were to make an escape, he would likely be one of the first ones to intercept me…
An imperceptible gleam flashed past Lucifer's eyes for half an instant before he lightly shook his head, instead putting his focus on the girl with a staring problem.
Shi Shun… I think that was her name. From my memories, she is known as a once in a thousand-year-old genius within the Long Family. With such immense talent and a family like hers, it only makes sense that she was able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm by now.
She also seems to be in possession of quite the special Spiritual Root—somewhere around the Earth Rank, maybe Heaven Rank… She definitely has a future ahead of her.
Now the question arises: why is she staring at me like that?
Since the moment I arrived at the stadium, her eyes have not once left my back… Already in love with my dashing figure…?
Sigh…
The woes of being a man as extraordinary as I…
Lucifer walked up to the stage where all his 'competitors' were standing, all of whom stared at him like he ate their grandmas or something.
Shi Shun… After I put all of these losers in their place, I will see what you want. But no matter how pretty you are, if you get in my way… Well, I will see what I can do with that Spiritual Root of yours.
He flashed a momentarily evil grin at the icy beauty before interacting with the losers on stage.
"???"
Although the others did not notice, Shi Shun, as the recipient of such a look, of course felt it.
Truly Lucifer… What are you?
As Shi Shun's thoughts swirled around inside her head, Lucifer talked to his 'family'.
-
"So you all are here as well? How come I didn't notice the presence of a single one of you until I made it up here? There must be some sort of illusion magic… surely."
"!!!" "!!!" "!!!"
The faces of Yan Xue, Yan Chao, Huan Tu, and the rest turned redder by multiple shades as even Yan Xue and Huan Tu forgot all about their quarreling.
"Who do you think you are, Lucifer!? Just because you reached the 100% Tempering Marrow Realm using some miraculous methods, you think you're tough shit!?"
Yan Xue stepped up from the crowd of youngsters as he got right into a fighting stance, completely forgetting about how badly he lost the last time.
The smile on Lucifer's handsome face grew as he extended a hand and taunted his 4th Brother. Furthermore, he did so using none other than the… double flip-off!
"Y-You… Fucking Bastard!!!" Yan Xue no longer cared about the rules of the competition as he leaped forth, aiming to use his Eagle Claw technique in order to rip out Lucifer's throat.
"Hey, you there! No fighting is allowed before the placements are selected!"
The announcer was about to interfere and stop this farce. But before he could, Lucifer moved first.
"It seems like you still haven't learned your lesson from the previous two times, kid. Since I am feeling magnanimous today, I will engrain the true meaning of discipline into your shithead scrambled brain."
FWIP!
Lucifer vanished from his spot, as aftershadows could be seen where he once stood.
"!!!"
Yan Xue tried to follow his rapid movements with his eyes; however, he was nowhere near fast enough!
"Y-You-"
"Is that all you know how to say? 'Y-You…' Stop stuttering like a toddler and learn how to use your words." Lucifer appeared out of thin air and clasped onto Yan Xue's face, pushing his head to the paved ground.
*Bam!*
"Since you seem to be incapable of using that mouth with purpose, I have taken it upon myself to clean it out for you. This should help with better articulation for next time you open it."
BOOM!
Lucifer pushed even harder against the ground as his aura exploded outward, forcing the stone surface to cave under the pressure!
"!!!" "!!!" "!!!"
Everybody in the crowd was still trying to figure out what the hell was going on when, out of nowhere, a body was dragged all over the stage. After making a few laps with the unconscious ragdoll, Lucifer threw his body toward the commoner stands, heading right for the spectators!
At least, that was what would've happened if not for the multi-colored shield that separated the contestants from the spectators.
BOOOM!
The passed-out Yan Xue hit the barrier, causing sparks to fly!
After a couple seconds of the shield taking on the full momentum of his 'flying session', he ultimately ended up sliding down the barrier with froth leaking from his mouth…
*Thud!*
It was only after Yan Xue's unconscious figure firmly planted itself on the floor of the arena that Lady Wei, his mother, jumped off her seat in the VIP stands.
"You bastard child! How dare you do that to my son!? Are you looking for an early death!!?"
WAAAA!
Her dark blue Core Formation Realm Aura nearly overwhelmed everything in the vicinity. That was until Lord Xiao said, "Sit down."
"B-But my Lord Husband… Our baby boy… T-That bastard-"
"I said sit down and stop causing a ruckus. I will not say it again…"
"!!!"
Lord Xiao's face turned icier than the tundra as he looked at his Third Wife like nothing more than an annoyance.
"Y-Yes, My Lord Husband…" Lady Wei slumped into her chair with a betrayed expression, as the most she could do was call for a doctor.
"Now, with that out of the way, you may start the competition," Lord Xiao commanded, his piercing gaze honed in on the Announcer.
"!!!"
"Right away, My Lord!" The announcer fervently nodded his head before clearing his throat. After which, he shouted, "The matchups will appear on that screen! Look up there and find the square arena you will be fighting in.
After you understand who you will be fighting, both you and your opponent will wait on the square and fight in the numerical order above. 1 will fight 1 and will also be on Square 1.
Since there are a total of 12 squares, 2 will fight 2 on Arena 2, 3 to 3 on Arena 3, and so on.
With more than 2000 participants, the arenas will move in rotation until the 2000 of you are reduced to a mere 100. Which means that Contestant 1 will fight a different number 1 on Arena 1 for the 13th matchup.
Every contestant will get a total of three chances to come victorious in three different fights. If you do not win within 3 fights, you will be eliminated, and your final rank will be set in stone.
That is all! The matchups will appear in 3…2…1…!"
